FINGER-MING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 385.073, dated June 26, 18 88.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM P. SINNOOK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Finger- Rings, of which the following specification is a full clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to an improved manner of fastening a raised initial, monogram, or other ornament upon the stone or head of a finger-ring.

The object of this invention is to construct the heads of the rings and the initials, monograms, or other ornaments so that the dealer to whom they are sold by the manufacturer can attach any one of theinitials, monograms, or ornaments to any one of the rings he may buy, no matter what the pattern or finger-size of the ring may be.

The invention consists of the various featuresofimprovementhereinaftermorespecifically pointed out.

In the accompanying diagram, Figure 1 is a view of the ring after the initial, monogram, or ornament is attached. Fig. 2 is a front view of the ring before the initial, monogram, or ornament is attached. Fig. 3 is a view of the initial, monogram, or ornament before it is attached to the ring. Fig. 4 is a vertical cross-section of the ring complete on the plane of the line at as, Fig. 2.

The head and stone, if the ring has a stonesetting, are perforated with two holes,as shown on Figs. 2 and 4. The holes are countersunk at the inside of the ring, as shown on Fig. 4.

The initial, monogram, or'ornamcnt has soldered upon its back in a vertical position two hollow round wire rivets of a length equal to the length of the holes through the head of the ring, of a size equal to the size of the holes through the head of the ring, and just as far apart as are the holes through the head of the ring, as shown in Fig. 3 by letters (1 (I, so that when the initial, monogram, or ornament is placed upon the head or stone of the ring the rivets will enter into the holes of the head of.

the ring and extend just to the inside of the ring.

lifter the dealer has selected an initial,

monogram, or ornament for a ring of the u proper finger size and pattern, the ring is made complete in the following manner: The same is placed upon the head or stone of the ring, so that the rivets enter the holes in the ring, and is fastened upon the ring by inserting the point of a riveting-tool in the hollow ends of the rivets, which are then flush with the inside of the ring, and pressing the same into said hollow ends and turning the same about until the ends of said rivets are so expanded as to fill the countersunk portions of said holes, thus securely attaching the initial, monogram, or ornament to the ring without the. use of solder.

My improved method of attaching the mono gram or other device to the ring-band by having the rivets pass through the stone and the band will obviate the necessity of additional fastening for the stone, as has heretofore been the case.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- In a ring of the character described, the finger-band having aperforated seal-head thereon with two or more perforations therethrough for the reception of the hollow tubular rivets, in combination with a stone, similarly perforated through its face orlesser diameter, to be mounted thereon, and the monogram or other device provided with tubular rivets, as described, said rivets passing through the stone and finger-band,upset within thelatter, whereby all the parts are rigidly secured together, as set forth.

WILLIAM P. SINNOOK.
